Gallery/Dealer Details - Drawing Room

DRAWING ROOM is a non-profit making organization, initiated in 2000. It is programmed and managed by its co-founders and Directors, Mary Doyle, Kate Macfarlane and Katharine Stout, who have over twenty years experience of working in the arts. The gallery has no core funding and supports itself through earned income, sponsorship, individual giving and grants from public bodies.

DRAWING ROOM attracts a wide audience including art professionals, students and the general public interested in advances in contemporary art and drawing in particular. Our work is disseminated through an In-Conversation programme, Drawing Pad projects, publications and touring exhibitions to regional museums and galleries in the UK. Drawing Room also collaborates with organizations abroad on exhibitions and projects.

DRAWING ROOM is the only London based non-academic partner of The International Centre for Fine Art Research, University of the Arts, a high profile network of museums, galleries and academic institutions in Europe and America.

The gallery is located in an attractive and spacious warehouse in Hackney, east London, which opened to the public as a gallery in May 2003. The gallery space is within Tannery Arts, an established studio complex, occupied by professional artists who provide opportunities for dialogue and exchange. Drawing Room offers a consultancy service to individuals and groups who wish to start, or build on, a collection. We offer tailor made studio visits to a range of established and emerging artists.
